Failure of Education? White Supremacist and the True Story of Ah Q

 Failure of Education?

White Supremacist and the True Story of Ah Q


In an era of great transition from unipolar to multipolar world, it is easier to be a supremacist whether white, black or yellow.  There are too many propagandas, misleading news, misinformation, fake or wrong information that drive people mad.


How to educate our youth during this transition?

Deciding right or wrong can be very short term based on 10 or 12 years of education. 


30 years ago, the Soviet Union broke apart. 

60 years ago, the Cuban crisis. 

100 years ago, Ah Q first appeared.

500 years ago, the Age of Discovery and colonisation. 

1000 years ago, the Islamic Golden Age.

2000 years ago, the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty  

More than 3000 years ago, the Axial Age.


A unipolar world is a short term view of human history and civilization. How to teach ‘the future’ using the past history, experience? In the transition, under peer pressure, internal and external influences, one can easily become a white supremacist or Ah Q.  


ChatGPT said there is no relationship between a white supremacist and Ah Q.  However, both do not see the full picture of the transition, ignoring history and making decisions based on partial, incorrect information.  There was a lack of information, education, science and technology for Ah Q.  Surprisingly, overflow of information, teaching, science and technology apply to the white supremacists.

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition. My original aim is to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education system”. The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential candidates. Another policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion. Act 1 Gangster’s demand Imagine a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting ...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By i...

Is Prism Project Another Central Planning of the PAP?

There are 3 scenarios under the Prism Project#1 of Institute of Public Policy.  However, it looks more like the central scenario planning of the People’s Action Party. From the instructional menu of Prism Project Primer #2, participants were guided to a situation in 2022 and they have to imagine, within the Primer framework, to come out with 3 possible scenarios in Jun-Aug 2012.  2022. What a coincidence! Not long ago, PM Lee declared that he would like to hold the prime minister post for another 10 years. The other coincidence is the similarity between the 3 scenarios and the candidates of PE2011. How competitive and sustainable are the 3 scenarios to the people of Singapore and to the PAP?   Will the scenarios produce competitive and sustainable Singapore, Singaporeans or the PAP?  Perhaps, as what the Chinese say: planning cannot always catch up with changes.   And planning sometimes turns out the wrong, bad and unexpected results, espec...
